The Commerce Department said in its latest guidelines on outbreak prevention and control that restaurants should provide communal chopsticks and spoons, preferably with a pair of chopsticks and spoons for each dish and soup, or a pair of communal chopsticks and spoons for each person. This will avoid contamination of food, which can lead to cross-infection.

The so-called disease enters by the mouth, dietary safety is very important, in addition to the need to ensure that the ingredients are safe, production and processing processes are not contaminated, and ultimately on the table after the customer can not be contaminated. So in order to protect the safety of everyone, our country also promulgated a lot of laws and regulations related to the food industry to strictly regulate. But there is still a barrier to pay attention to, that is, the consumers themselves here need to do a good job of prevention and control.

The traditional Chinese food culture is that a group of people around the table, everyone clip their favorite dishes to their own bowl and then eat, but the chopsticks are often used in their own hands this pair. So it's easy for your own body germs to contaminate the chopsticks, thus contaminating the dish in the process of chucking food, which can lead to cross-infection.

To avoid this, it's important to use communal chopsticks and spoons. It's a good idea to use chopsticks and spoons to avoid this, so you can maximize your safety by taking your food into your own bowl, or taking your soup into your own bowl and drinking it.

The culture of table manners is an important part of Chinese etiquette, and there are a lot of rules to pay attention to when eating.

Also, you can't stick your chopsticks in the middle of the bowl, which is a form of ancestor worship. When drinking and clinking glasses with others, the glass should be slightly lower than the other party, which is a sign of respect for the other party. Sneezing in the process of eating, do not sneeze on the table, but should have to put the mouth and nose below the table, and it is best to cover with your hand to avoid the spread of germs, which is also a sign of respect for others.
